Member s explanatory statement This new clause would ensure that regulations made by a Minister of the Crown within devolved competence require the consent of Ministers in devolved authorities in accordance with the convention about Parliament legislating on devolved matters while making clear that this does not alter the current powers of Ministers of the Crown in respect of international agreements. Anna Soubry Chuka Umunna Nicky Morgan Dr Sarah Wollaston Mr Jonathan Djanogly Stephen Hammond Jo Swinson Heidi Allen Jeremy Lefroy Mr Chris Leslie Stephen Doughty Robert Neill NC5 Implementation of a customs union with the EU (1) It shall be the objective of an appropriate authority to take all necessary steps to implement an international trade agreement which enables the UK to participate after exit day in a customs union with the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn John McDonnell Mr Nicholas Brown Barry Gardiner Bill Esterson Judith Cummins Clause 2, page 2, line 40, at end insert (7A) No regulations made under subsection (1) shall preclude the United Kingdom from participating in a customs union with the European Union following exit day.
